Also, his rookie year and 2009 throw off the ISO that he achieved 2 years in a row once he adjusted to the majors (around .190). Do you think his 2007-2008 power numbers will return in 2010? I don't see why they shouldn't, I'm just wondering if there is some concerning reason that his power disappeared. Hardy was actually better in 2007 than 2008 from a fantasy standpoint.

It looks like the Brewers had 2 needs in mind - starting pitching or a good defensive center fielder. Short of offering Buchholz, Ellsbury, or Reddick, I'm not sure a match could have been made (especially after trading Masterson midseason). I'm surprised the O's didn't offer Felix Pie (or maybe we did and were turned down). I don’t think the Sox had the right played to trade in return, though.

Would have been a major offensive upgrade and slight defensive upgrade over Alex Gonzalez. Looks like they could have gotten him dirt cheap, too. Damn….was hoping the Red Sox would go for Hardy.
